just looked to see if still had letter we received when this was done. no luck. remember talking to Rich at the time this was done. ask him the difference between preferred and restricted stocks, he explained and also explained why he went with restricted stocks instead of preferred stocks for investors. anyhow, this was done before they they were converted into stock cert. will see if can find letter, friend might have. Don`t remember letter saying anything about 2/1 split. It was something like he was doubling the amount of shares we would recieve for our investment. realize it is 2/1 split but the wording was not that way. just little input, will try to find letter
